Re: GTK+3 Win32 Bundles : RFC

[Tarnyko <tarnyko tarnyko net>]

Hi folks, 

Just some news on the Win32 - bundle distribution - side. 

Main URL :
http://win32builder.gnome.org/ 

The continuous build environment now generates 64-bit bundles.
The bundle for GTK+ 3.10.x has been generated. 

After having pushed a fix for an annoying bug impacting 64-bit builds : 

https://git.gnome.org/browse/glib/commit/?id=1e3fe29fc3707e7844fce8e3761c3f1 
2090d9158 

I backported the fix in the buildenv, and so I felt it was time to provide 
download links for the 3.6.4 64-bit bundle on the official website :
http://www.gtk.org/download/win64.php 

-------------------------- 

Now, before we can provide links for 3.8.x and 3.10.x, there are some issues 
to fix in these versions. I'm investigating them, but any help would be 
greatly appreciated : 

- 3.8 : tabs having Down/Left/Right orientation get rendered incorrectly.

Notice the tabs lack some borders. I tried to apply Andy Spencer's excellent 
patch (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691678) but it doesn't 
work on >= 3.6 :-(. 

- 3.10 : resize grip hovers other widgets.

Resize grip seems to "cover" any other widget, which is new between 3.8 and 
3.10 and doesn't render nicely. 

- 3.10 : File Chooser dialog has non-functional entries.

In this picture, "Home" and "Desktop" entries don't work. There's a "bin" 
which is the current directory, might be useful (but should be renamed ?). 


Thanks a lot for any feedback, 

Regards,
Tarnyko
